We've just come upon the end of week 11, and honestly, I'm feeling really burnt out. Especially due to daylight savings and the dreary weather, all I'm trying to do is cuddle up, get attention, and avoid my responsibilities.

I can't do that, so let's talk about someone who can.

If you've been living under and Athens block, Ohio University legend Pumpkin the Cat lives in the Board of Elections on South Court Street on the little window seat. From 8 AM to 4 PM Monday through Friday, you can stop in and give him the endless pats he deserves. You absolutely need to do this at least a billion times before you graduate, I swear you've never and will never meet a cat as gentle and lovely as him.

Pumpkin REALLY has it good, and to continue to wallow in my winter break craving and burnout misery, I thought I'd detail some of the ways Pumpkin is thriving way more than the rest of us. Buckle up, here are 10 ways why Pumpkin is living a better life than all of us (combined too, probably.)

1. Pumpkin is loved by all

Literally IMAGINE being such an icon in the Ohio University community! Everyone knowing your name, loving you for you, and being famous without even trying.

3. Pumpkins gets endless attention

Giphy

Calling all my attention-seekers out there! Not in the shady way, of course, everyone loves a little attention on them every once in a while. If you were adored by so many, wouldn't you want to always be reminded of that fact by being visited and getting pats from all your friends? Makes total sense to me, and having friends to scratch that hard to reach spot on your back at all times? Wow.

5. Pumpkin will never be alone in the world

Giphy

I don't know if I'm speaking for every single person in the Athens community (but I feel like I am,) but I would lay my LIFE down for Pumpkin the cat. That's a lot of people protecting this cat. I won't forget about Pumpkin until the day I die. If Pumpkin ever thinks he has no one, he'll always have me. I hope most of my readers feel the same.

6. Pumpkin gets free food

Giphy

Need I say more?

8. Pumpkin doesn't speak English

Giphy

We don't need to speak cat to understand that he loves our endless pats and kisses, but we do know when he doesn't want them. Instead of having to be confrontational, he can jump and walk away, and to that we say "It's okay baby we understand everyone needs some alone time sometimes love you <33."

9. Pumpkin gets endless pats, cuddles, and playtime

Giphy

Have I said this yet? I think I have, but it's so important I have to say it twice.

Literally imagine living a life so lavish.

Have I made you want to stop by and worship the king? I know I sure do miss him and want to go pet him right now instead of catching up on all the homework I've been missing because I was studying or doing some other work and couldn't get to it right on time. Sigh, happy week 11 everyone, and long live the king.
